Europe to Advance Clocks for Daylight Saving Time on Sunday.

Most countries across Europe and parts of North America will switch to Daylight Saving Time (DST) early Sunday morning, March 29, 2026. The seasonal time change marks the beginning of longer daylight hours during spring and summer.

Authorities confirmed that clocks will move forward by one hour at 2:00 a.m., shifting directly to 3:00 a.m. across many European countries, including the United Kingdom.

This adjustment follows the long-standing practice of advancing clocks on the last Sunday of March each year. The new time schedule will remain in effect until the last Sunday of October, when clocks move back again.

As a result of the time change, people will lose one hour of sleep on Sunday morning. However, the shift allows longer daylight hours in the evening, which benefits outdoor activities, travel schedules, and business operations.

Experts note that Daylight Saving Time supports energy efficiency and improves evening productivity during warmer months. Many residents also welcome the extended daylight as spring and summer approach.
